Not your conventional BL, it's deeper than that
This was so well directed, scripted and filmed. The visuals are beautiful, the vibe feels like home: it brings comfort and discomfort. The story is original and realistic, which can be good and frustrating. I had so much mixed feelings during this show.
I felt like I was inside the /real/ Thailand. It looked a lot more like where I come from (Brazil). Their routine, the subway, the trapphic, the city sounds... It all felt real and relatable. The gay representation was so naturally put, cause they had the gays just living, making TikToks, painting nails, listening to POP music, dancing in street contests, going to concerts, skating, having friends. We didn't have to care about whether homophobia was a thing.
This show was just about a few teen boys, some confused, others knew exactly what they wanted, others were too afraid of anything and others too emotional. It's just part of reality. Too many feelings, feelings that are full of complexity. Feelings that make people treat others without affective responsability and end up hurting the ones they like.
It's frustrating because there's too much pain and confusion. One second things seem fine, then you realize one is using another. Everyone of these 4 boys get hurt at some point, and half of them do stuff you just can't agree with. At the end this is just a bomb of complexity in relationships between teenage boys (who tend to be extreme) and it's not about shipping the couples that are "supposed" to be.
I thinks we're supposed to appreciate the beauty and ugliness in relationships and it's diverse feelings and the behaviors that come with them.
